    Staff were so nice. The rooms were a good size, including the bathroom and shower. The bathroom supplies were Dove products and just lovely. The complimentary breakfast was well stocked and lovely. Loved the pancake machine 🥰

    Ended up here by coincidence, due to a change in programme, and what a luck! Probably the most comfortable hotel I stayed in California (at this price tag), many services offered (including laundry), great breakfast and nice staff at the front desk.
